Chateau Herálec Boutique Hotel & Spa by l'Occitane

The best hotel in the Czech Republic and the staff, grounds, hotel, restaurant and attention to detail are incredible. We stayed for a birthday celebration and the experience was of a really high standard. I can strongly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a five star break away from cities and the hustle of life.

We stayed two nights at the hotel. It is a beautiful hotel that is very pretty and well restored with a couple exceptions. The staff was friendly and professional. We encountered two issues. There is no air conditioning and it was very hot inside the hotel. Thankfully it did cool down a bit at night. Our suite was large and well appointed. The bathroom was large but not very functional. There is absolutely no counter space to put anything on the there is essentially no shower. There is a bathtub with a hand held sprayer but it is hard to use without getting water all over the floor. A simple shower curtain would really help. A huge shout out to Sharka (sp?). She was our server at the restaurant, night and day, and was absolutely terrific. Professional, prompt, kind and funny! All in a very nice stay.

The chateau is pretty much off the beaten path. It is situated in a small village not far from one of the main highways of Czechia. It has been turned into a luxury small hotel and is a great experience. It is for people that like to spend some unwinding time in a quiet place. The restaurant is also quite nice and we enjoyed our breakfasts and dinners there. We stayed two nights while we were between major destinations and really enjoyed. Staff are efficient and very friendly. We are glad we decided to stay here--pretty much based on Trip Advisor reviews.

I and my friend absolutely enjoyed our 2-nights stay. The place is absolutely stunning and nearly in the middle of nowhere. A receptionist came up to our room and showed us all around. It was very unusual for us. We dined in at dinner time. I had absolutely delicious Czech creamy dill soup with mushrooms. My friend had a veal steak with roasted cabbage and thick american chips. As I am a brunch fan, I had big breakfasts. It was also gastronomic experience.I would only say confidently that I had eaten a way better scrambled eggs elsewhere. Otherwise, I can recommend a muschroom omelete, baked musli with plain yoghurt, chateau little sausages and crepes. We enjoyed sauna, whirpool, swimming pool...There are two fitness rooms very very very well equipped :) Amazing! We were blessed to have the whole chateau for ourselves for one day. It was one of the top experience I have ever had...it makes such a great difference when you get the privilliege to be away in silence and peace. I loved and enjoyed the stay in maximum. I don't think I will come back because I'd rather experience something else rather than the same I had already experienced. Yet, I highly recommend it to those who want to enjoy luxurious and original type of stay. I'd suggest them to put more pictures on walls in hallways. Some parts of the hallways looked clinical and pale. In 5-star hotel I'd also expect a coffee machine available in guest rooms with nice coffee, rather than literally only a couple of instant 2 in 1 Nescafe sachets.

We spent 4 nights at Chateau Heralec. Our room was large, clean and thoughtfully arranged. A wide range of literature was provided, including bedtime stories (local folktales), a history of the Chateau and helpful maps (which we used on our daily local walks). We took many peaceful strolls among the big, old trees in the vast Chateau gardens. We also made use of the saunas and steamroom in the beautiful and clean spa area. The Chateau staff, from the Reception to the chambermaids, were professional, pleasant and helpful. Our delicious breakfasts and dinners were made more enjoyable by the cheerful and knowledgeable Ms. šárka - our lovely waitress. So glad we were able to experience this bit of heaven in the Czech countryside!
